1t alive. After you nave lived on reasol 8
able food for month or two, YOU will no
longer be troubled with squeamisll appe-
tite. Ii any way practicable, you ought
to have at least half an hour in the open
air before sitting down to table; and st
any rate wash your face and arms an {
chest in cool water. But must leave tt q
stomach here, with a hundred things still
to be said about it.
CARE OF THE SKIN.
Now for the skin. Ninety-nine peoplt
out OF 100 never think about their ski
though the health of all their internal o.
gans depends upon it's condition. tt *
no use washing your face and hands an
leaving the rest of your body untouched
1t is little better to stand in front of
basin and spatter yourself from head t.
! foot with water. You must cleanse ever
part of your skin thoroughly once da,.
am no advocate of discomfort in bathin2
cold water in a cold room, and all sucb
nonsense. Have the room warm and tie
water only a few degrees cooler. Stay il
the bath five minutes, keeping yourse
either under water or pouring wet all tie.
: time. But it is after you leave the tub
that the really important part of the BATH
begins. Dry yourself thoroughly wits
two towels; then take a stiff flesh brus
and try with all your might to rub you
skin off. A cocoanut fiber brush is til
best; and to get at your back, it is a goo
plan to have cocoanut fiber mat hun
against the wall to rub yourself agains
Keep up this friction for at least ten mir
utes. You could not invest the san
amount of time more usetully. There Is
no such remedy for feverish habit Is
this, nothing like it to relieve the internal
organs from undue heat and congestion Of
blood and to free the lungs from oppres
sion. Moreover, it actually increases tie
size of the muscles and makes thela
frmer, by causing the blood to circulate
more vigorously in them. AS to it's effect
upon the elasticity and beauty of the Skin
itself, that will be obvious at a glance.
THE FLESH BRUSH.
1t is the brush, not the toilet bottle,
that furnishes the only true bloom q
youth. But the morning bath and rus
down alone are not sufficient. If, during
the day. you get into perspiration, d.
not allow the moisture to dry ON your
skin. Never come in from walk Or 81
horseback ride or row and sit down as
you dIe. 0O W your TOOUl, Jake VI
everything and use the brush. It ma
seem inconvenient at first, but when it 53
done you will rejoice, and soon it will be-,
come a matter Of course to you If yor
Undertaking is damp it is, of course,
best to change it; but if the skin has beeu
brushed red you may vensr1re to resume
the same clothes with comparative in
punity. This friction after exercise is. ol
great Importance; so much so that it ma
be affirmed that three-fourths of the bene
fit of any exercise is lost wttlsellt IT,. r.

is enormous. 1t is one of the best PR
ventives against catching cold. 1t is ar
excellent substitute for the Turkish 81
hot air bath, and takes only a quarter q
the time. If you feel headache comm
on, it will often send it away. But h.
sure to have the hot water very hot, an
apply the cold without stint.
